All About the Skin

Susan Robertson /Mo Davey (illustrator)
What does your skin do all day? More than you might think! Discover how your skin protects your body, helps you feel the world around you, heals itself after a cut, and keeps you cool when you're hot. Written by paediatric dermatologist Dr Susan Robertson and brought to life with vibrant illustrations by Mo Davey, All About the Skin reveals the remarkable science behind your body's largest organ.
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and it's working every second of every day. In All About the Skin, children discover how skin protects us from germs, sunlight and injury, helps us sense touch, keeps our bodies at the right temperature, and repairs itself when we get hurt. Along the way, they learn why everyone has different skin, what causes freckles, bruises and pimples, and how to keep their skin healthy. Written by Dr Susan Robertson, Director of Dermatology at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, this engaging nonfiction picture book combines trusted medical expertise with lively, accessible illustrations that make complex science easy to understand. Perfect for curious readers, families, classrooms and libraries, All About the Skin is the fourth title in Berbay's acclaimed All About the Body series. Encouraging children to ask questions and understand how their bodies work, the series combines accurate science with engaging storytelling to inspire curiosity about the amazing human body.
